Dov Charney is a fast-talking 36-year-old entrepreneur whose company has a loose, sexy atmosphere. As you might guess, some former workers have sued him for sexual harassment.
Charney pays his 4,000 employees, mostly immigrants, an average $12.75 an hour, plus subsidized lunches, health care, and free English classes.
He calls his company, American Apparel, “an industrial revolution” because everything happens in Los Angeles: knitting the fabric, cutting the patterns, turning them into finished products. He says, “It is less expensive for me, the way we do business, to manufacture here in the United States.”
